    I'm tired of dealing with the old wires under the dash. I bought a system from Ron Francis. I took the dash out of the car. The wiring under will be run nice and neat. I wish I did this when I rebuilt my 78 Vette. Who knows maybe for it's 10 anniversary of it's last paint job. There's a few...

    My dart was built in Canada and they put tons of undercoat on her. It was over a 1/2" and in some places more. I put the pressure cleaner to it. Got a lot off and was surprised to see absolutely nothing but the painted frame from the factory. Undercoat works.
